Outside; amid a crowd of supporters, chanting, singing and holding signs, Cecily's Attorney Martin Stolar said that Cecily is "relieved it wasn't two years."
He expects her to serve around 60 days with the time she's already done and good behavior. That said, he added, "She's not happy to be going back to Rikers Island." He said, McMillan will appeal her conviction.
McMillan's support team issued a statement, saying, in part, "We all know Cecily did not receive a fair trial, and this case will be fought in the Court of Appeals."
They add, "The DA and the courts want to make an example of Cecily; to deter us, to scare us, to keep us out of the streets. And we won't let that happen. This ruling will not deter us, it will strengthen our resolve." Village Voice Anna Merlan May 19 2014

democracynow.org - Occupy Wall Street activist Cecily McMillan suffered a seizure when New York City police officers pulled her from the crowd and arrested her as hundreds attempted to re-occupy Zuccotti Park on Saturday, to mark sixth months since the launch of the movement.
In her first television interview since her arrest, McMillan says she has decided to speak out because of an outpouring of public support. "I have received so many emails, Twitter messages and phone calls. People are just horrified about what happened to me."
McMillan has a black eye and her body is covered in bruises, at least one in the shape of a handprint. She says she was not allowed to contact an attorney while she was taken to the hospital and transferred to a jail cell along with some of the 72 other detained protesters.
